The Commissioner:What we want is to see at what point, what is called the transfer, that is the movement in answer to the helm, would commence and how speedily it would develop, in order to see when this ship would have escaped a berg in its way?

The Attorney-General:At what distance from the time it is sighted, assuming the helm was put hard over?

The Commissioner:Yes, I daresay Mr. Wilding will understand it. If Mr. Wilding will come up here, we can explain to him at once what it is we want.

(Mr. Wilding explained to the Commissioner on the bench.)

The Attorney-General:I understand the result of what has taken place is to ask for some further plans; otherwise we ought to have on the note what has taken place?
